FISCAL IMPACT: This project is funded by 49.5% High Risk Rural Road (HRRRL) Funds, 7.2% Proposition 1B Funds, 34.8%East County Area of Benefit Funds, and 8.5% Contra Costa Water District Funds. BACKGROUND: The above project was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors, plans and specifications were filed with the Board, payment to the Habitat Conservancy Plan for $114,375.41 to be paid by June 16, 2015, and bids were invited by the Public Works Director. On May 14, 2015, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors: BIDDER TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS Granite Rock Company: $1,779,142.00; Payment Bond: $1,779,142.00; Performance Bond: $1,779,142.00 A. Teichert & Sons, Inc., (dba Teichert Construction): $1,911,936.50 RGW Construction, Inc.: $1,992,273.00 Robert Burns Construction, Inc.: $2,053,776.10 Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc.: $2,092,273.61 Ghilotti Bros., Inc.: $2,278,646.00 The bidder listed first above, Granite Rock, submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $132,794.50 less than the next lowest bid. This is a federally-funded project subject to a DBE contract goal and requirements. The Public Works Director has determined and reports that Granite Rock attained 19.72% DBE participation, which exceeds the DBE goal for this project and the Public Works Director recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Granite Rock. The Public Works Director recommends that the bid submitted by Granite Rock, is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, and this Board so concurs and so finds. The Board of Supervisors previously adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Plan in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, and a Notice of Determination was filed with the County Clerk on August 15, 2013. The general prevailing rates of wages, which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project, have been filed with the Clerk of the Board, and copies will be made available to any party upon request. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Construction of the Marsh Creek Road Safety Improvements Project would be delayed, and the project might not be built. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
